Theatre
The Velvet Revolution
performed by Cathal Leonard and Kate McCarthy
Sunday 19th February 2012 at 8.00pm
Velvet Revolution is an exciting new Play from Truman Town Theatre. In typical fashion, the drama
is dialogue based with lots of wit, sarcasm and black humour. Fyodor and Shelly are a young couple living
in an undisclosed town in the rural Ireland. Shelly is the beautiful seductive blonde that torments the insecure
Fyodor with her adulterous antics and behaviour. She constantly alludes to the men she met at the bar, her past
lovers and the lack of excitement in her marriage by comparison. Fyodor plays the struggling writer,
a victim to naive romance and artistic values, he uses gambling to escape what he believes are
the torments of his tortured soul.
At times dark, others hilarious, and often touching, Truman Town have produced one of their best works to date.
Using only two actors, and a minimal set, the Play is a feast of tension, humour, suspense and ultimately a delightful illustration of the bizzare Irish psyche.
From writer Mick Donnellan, that brought you sell-out shows such as 'Sunday Morning Coming Down'
(Sold Out National Tour 2011), 'Shortcut to Hallelujah' (Sold out tour of Connaught 2011)
and 'Gun Metal Grey' (Sold out Galway Theatre Festival 2011) this is a show to be hotly anticipated and not to be missed!

Tickets €15 (€12 conc.) Couples €25.
